Sorry for Hijacking your comment but the elephants in the Beginning were not just for ceremony. They were war elephants. Local feudal lords paid taxes in the form of war elephants and soldiers. That's how the kingdom became a military power. The millitary had Hindus and mulsims. But later on when Islamic invaders came and called for the religion brothers. Things went south to say the least.

[@sudeshnacharya]

Gentle request brother. Please whenever you go inside any kind of temple, please remove your footwear and after that please make namaste mudra before entering. The temple may be in ruins but the deity's power will be present, that deity will protect you from any kind of danger in that place and around. Also in hampi kind of temples were used to narrate different stories to different age groups during old days so please carefully look at the sculpture and you will love it. Thanks for the video. Shiva will bless you in all the journey

Hampi is India's Angkor Wat. Once upon a time, in the 15th Century, It was one of the most Prosperois and Largest Cities of India. All the ruined temples and structures would have looked completely different with colorful art, decoratios, Gems and paint. It is said Hampi was invaded ,burnt and plundered for 6 months by Army of Bahmani Sultans (Their enemies), This is why it lays in Ruins today.

Hampi is just beyond beautiful. I visited this February. And I was blown away. Some of the places, like the Queens baths, lotus palace, elephant stables. It takes your breath away. The step well, canal systems. Carved plates/ thalis and katories , amazing. The monolith huge doors, which could only be opened by elephants. Secret underground chamber, so the king could have discussions and no one else would hear. The administration area is spectacular. You see carvings of elephants, horses and camels. That was a sign that trade used to take place with Persia and Arabia. There are two pillars near this area, which were used as lathes, to shape the pillars into perfect rounds. The technology behind all of this is so wonderful to see. The main temples, the chariot, and the musical pillars. if it was in a western country it would have been wonder of the world.

The custom thumbnail looks great. What I learned about those rocks with the lines of square holes is that the holes were used to place sticks inside in order to split the stones. If you get the wood wet then it expands and forces the rock apart, so it's an ingenious way of cutting large rocks. I guess that whole area was basically a quarry where they were breaking rocks, and maybe the ones that were left there didn't break properly, or maybe a war broke out while they were in progress or who knows what.

@@HasanUnknown Hindus who follow Advaita philosophy believe in Nirguna Brahman - a formless genderless creator. " It is only through higher wisdom, not worship or sacrifice that one can attain Brahman" - Mundaka Upanishad. The Ancestors of Hindus who believed in Sanatan Dharma do not believe in religion, human created god, or prophets. The greatest knowledge is self discovery. They don't see difference in people like people like religious people do. The main concepts are " Aham Brahmasmi" which means "you are divine" and " "Tat Tvam Asi" which means " You are that" . The concepts in Upanishads cannot be understood by a person who is blinded by religion and ego. God in religions operate more like egoistic beings than a loving and compassionate creator - rewarding those who worship him and punishing those who don't. For those who have a rational mind this God sounds more like a dictator than a creator. Allah is more like Saguna Brahman of Dvaitha philosophy of Hindus - A creator with some sort of qualities and is judgemental. Nirguna Brahman has no human qualities and hence free of ego and judgement. You can propagate your ignorance towards Hindus who follow Dvaitha who believe in God, not those who follow Advaita or Samkya as they don't follow any egoistic God. Nirguna Brahman is unlike any God in religions whether it is Hinduism, Christianity, Islam or Judaism. The nature of Nirguna Brahman - the one which cannot be seen, nor seized, which has no origin, no race, no eyes, nor ears, no hands, nor feet The one that is the eternal, all-pervading, infinitesimal, imperishable, indestructible.Just like a blazing fire creates thousand sparks and leaping flames in its own form, beings are brought forth from the ultimate creator in its form. Brahman is imperishable, without body, it is both without and within, never produced, without mind, without breath, yet from it emerges the inner self of all things. From Brahman is born breath, mind, sensory organs, space, air, light, water, earth, everything. The greatest of all,or which has grown unlimitedly. eternal, pure, conscious . The Absolute existence, consciousness and bliss. Have a basic knowledge of Upanishads before you blabber rubbish to attract people to your organization.

1:31 correction, he was not a Telugu prince. He was most likely a Kannadiga. Kannada and Sanskrit were the two official court languages, although Telugu and Tamil were also patronised.

[@nondajeevi5036]

Right. I thought the debate was settled in favor of the theory which says Sangama brothers were kannada natives in the Hoysala army. I think Jason favors the other theory about the Sangama brothers being Kakatiya officers. In the youtube channel "Fall of Civilizations" by Paul Cooper, the narrator says the second theory is too dramatic & fanciful and likely not reliable. But I guess the question will never be answered because there's no hard evidence or supporting contemporary sources even for the first theory.

[@chandansatyanarayan2760]

@@nondajeevi5036 it's already answered in many many inscriptions and evidences and the historiography of the region. But chauvinism is a demon that doesn't die easily. Not wanting to accept history and creating random revised history is become the modern game. The Empire was called Karnataka Empire officially for nearly 500 years. The royal titles are in Kannada, the nicknames are in Kannada, the inscriptions are in Kannada, the dominant empires at that time were Karnatas yet the saga continues and new fiction gets added each decade.

You have the best cinamatography of all travel bloggers! I travelled around India in the 80’s. Be sure to see Madurai and the famous Menachshi Templein Tamil Nadu. Also the Shore Temple.

[@aravindkartha5145]

Madurai Meenakshi Temple is a very complicated temple to understand. The oldest part of the temple existed from 7th Century. The first expansion started in 12th century and ended in 18th century. It has over 30,000 sculptures and 3000 pillars. It took me 5 visits with the help of a wonderful local Guide to get the basic idea of the temple. I was able to understand because I know the local language. Unfortunately, this temple is the worst maintained major structure in the entire world. Extended part of temple are converted into shopping mall. A lake outside the temple which had a great history and was part of the temple was destroyed and converted into a shopping complex. Part of the temple was destroyed by fire due to electrical short circuit as a result of giving space for illegal hawkers. It was better to convert it to museum than stay as temple. By this way at least those who loves art and architecture would have appreciated it's beauty. The ignorant devotees just come there to pray and does not take effort to protest against the destruction of this temple. They have no sense of art and don't appreciate the effort their ancestors took to create this masterpiece. It is a temple that Tamil Nadu and Madurai doesn't deserve.

[@karnatabala]

Those holes in the rocks are signs of quarrying stone. Wooden poles were pushed into rock and then soaked in water. Wood expands when soaked, creating straight cracks in stone. In Hampi, the boulders were quarried for building material. And it is speculated that the boulder temples were made by the wealthy stone masons of that time.

TY for a great video, my frend. You are living my dream. I wish to become a world traveler as well in the near future. Hampi is a very ancient city, much older than the official history tells us. It is a good thing you took the time to walk that 1 km to Jayanagar temple because you can see multiple ruins of the ancient city, not only from more recent ages, but also at 5:31, the ruins of ancient giant citadels. The things that most people call "boulders" are really just ruins of massive geopolymer walls built by the ancient giants many thousands of years ago. While visiting these temples you can also notice that they were built in various ages, with the lower parts of the walls being of a larger geopolymer architecture, while the upper parts of the structures being finer, smaller brick architecture and concrete decorations. These ancient cities have been inhabited by people and destroyed by ancient cataclysms many times over and the architecture shows us that they have been renovated and rebuilt multiple times. At 14:20 you were walking on the ruins of ancient giants that built massive structures out of large geopolymer concrete blocks, which people now call "boulders". Can you see the giant ruins or do you simply see some random boulders? 15:23 The small rectangular holes that Gabriel was pointing to are chisel marks left by rock quarry workers that were trying to split some of the granite geopolymer blocks. If you look carefully in this segment of exploration you will see multiple pillars and stones that have these rectangular marks at the edges, where they were cut by quarry workers. The crude temples were made by small people from a medieval cycle, but long after the giants had disappeared and their cities turned to rubble which we now call "hills". Our history is so manipulated that we still have no clue about our giant ancestors that lived in many cycles tens of thousands of years ago up until 8000 years ago when they built these massive geopolymer cities. Next time you visit one of these Indian cities, perhaps you will start to see the ancient giant ruins and not just hills :) Happy travels my frends and always keep an open mind!

Nice To See That You Visited Hidden Indian Historical Place❤

[@ishagupta4]

I would love to visit this place someday. In our Hindu epic Ramayana it is referred as Kishkindha, in 5000 Bce, the place where Hindu god hanuman Ji met Shri Ram. There are small details of this place such as caves and the lake by the author Valmiki Ji that cannot be just a coincidence. With so much of history behind it, I would love to visit it in my lifetime.

Wonderful Vlog about UNESCO World Heritage Site-Ruins of Vijayanagara Empire at Hampi, Surrounded by Deccan Plateau and Situated at the banks of Tungabhadra River. All Districts in North Karnataka Region of Karnataka State- Bagalkote, Vijayapura, Gadag, Dharwad, Haveri, Belagavi, Bellary, Bidar, Kalaburagi, Koppal, Raichur, Vijayanagara and Yadgir are famous for their stunning landscapes and historical heritages which still remain one of the lesser known and road less travelled destinations across Southern part of India. Glad you visited Hampi. Take Care.😊

Hey ! If you are still in Karnataka, I hope Beluru Halebidu are on your travel list. Do not miss them

[@sspravin]

Praveen Mohan's KZbin channel has a lot of information about Hampi and its mysteries.

[@vinuviswakumar400]

I'm from a neighbouring state and i've always wanted to visit hampi. hopefully will make that trip in the next 3 months

[@bhyomkeshbakshika5938]

You speak slowly and the dialogue is therefore easy to understand making this an instant hit as a video loaded with knowledge and information going hand in hand with the place which I have failed to visit to date

[@shahindranmoonieya4742]

I would love to see the restoration of as much of Hampi as is possible.

[@parkash9999]

Amazing video. Nice to see Mr. Gabriel and that guy from Poland.

[@shreyas9507]

I had the pleasure of visiting Hampi in 2019 and I have always said since then that if you have a chance to visit only one place in India, chose HAMPI!!! It's beauty and majesty is beyond any words ...just leaves you speechless!!!

[@kpanupama]

Have you visited Chandragiri near Tirupathi, it where the desndents of Vijayanagara rulled from.

[@christopherchinniah-sl1lh]

Jai Hanuman. In my bucket list, first place to go in Karnataka is Anjanagiri Parvat where my istewar Hanuman ji is believed to be born.

[@madhukashyap4943]

Great video bro 👏👏👏👏

[@JERRy-gr3ec]

Thankyou for sharing the value of hampi, really appreciate it

[@gundappa2605]

Hi Jason, great video. Just a small correction - Lord Narasimha is not a frog. Nara - Human; Simha - Lion. Lord Narasimha is part human and part lion. Again, thanks for the brilliant video.
